Blue Grouse Estate Winery and Vineyard announced that $1 from every bottle of Blue Grouse wine sold anywhere in British Columbia in April will be donated to Nourish Cowichan, marking the winery’s fourth consecutive year of participating in the local charity whose mission is to feed hungry children.
April is BC Wine Month, which is the perfect time to support local charities by giving back some of the wine proceeds to raise awareness for Nourish Cowichan, a non-profit that’s so deeply rooted in the Cowichan Valley community.
Giving back to the local community is such an important ethos of the Jackson family’s culture.
The family has been a long-time supporter of their local communities for decades. Each year, Jackson Family Wines contributes thousands of hours of volunteer time, financial support, and in-kind donations to more than 200+ nonprofit organizations throughout their wine communities and beyond.
Over the past year, staff volunteered nearly 6,000 hours to make a difference in the local communities.
Many of these efforts have supported food-related charities like local food banks, community gardens, and non-profits that aim to end food insecurities.
As Blue Grouse Estate Winery participates in Nourish Cowichan for the fourth year, the Jackson family is looking forward to continuing the great charitable efforts that the winery team has established.
It might be hard to believe, but the Cowichan Valley is one of British Columbia’s regions with the highest child poverty rate.
Nourish Cowichan is currently supporting over 1,200 students in 21 schools in the SD79.
Their program provides students with breakfast, lunch, and snacks as well as weekend grocery bags.
Nourish Cowichan has also been providing food support to families that are going through financial insecurity.
To support this great cause, customers may purchase wines at the Blue Grouse Estate winery, through the Blue Grouse online store, or by using the locater tool to find Blue Grouse wines at their favorite restaurants and retailers.
In addition, anyone wishing to contribute monetary donations to the campaign may do so here.
